The Woman Who Saved Me: Donielle Jolie Yanez and the Power of Healing Loudly

As 2024 comes to a close, I can say with pride that this was the year I stopped living for everyone else.

 As 2024 comes to a close, I can say with pride that this was the year I stopped living for everyone else.


I stopped going above and beyond for people who wouldn’t do the same for me.

I stopped being the bigger person when it meant swallowing my pain to make others feel better.

I stopped fixing what I didn’t break and carrying the weight of problems that were never mine to solve.

I stopped showing up for people who consistently failed to show up for me.

And I stopped sacrificing my happiness, peace, and joy just to keep the peace.


This year, I matched energy.

When people brought respect, I gave it back. When they brought disrespect, I set them straight.

I refused to stay silent to "keep the peace" while others crossed my boundaries.

I started calling people out on their behavior the moment it happened, no longer letting it slide.

I stopped letting fake apologies and empty promises keep me trapped in toxic cycles.


2024 was the year I finally protected my energy.

I walked away from one-sided relationships and left behind people who drained me.

I stood firm in my boundaries, even when others didn’t like them.

I stopped explaining myself to people who were never going to understand my worth.

I prioritized my happiness, pouring into myself first without guilt or apology.


This was the year I stopped shrinking myself to fit into spaces where I was never meant to be.

I stopped dimming my light for people who couldn’t handle its brightness.

I said “no” more than ever before, and I meant it every time.


As 2024 ends, I look back and see the version of myself I always wanted to become:

A version that chooses self-respect, peace, and joy unapologetically.

A version that no longer bends over backward to please others at the expense of my own soul.


This was the year I chose me and I’m never going back.

The Silent War: The Devastating Effects of Psychological Warfare in Narcissistic Abuse

 The Silent War: The Devastating Effects of Psychological Warfare in Narcissistic Abuse By Daniel Ryan Cotler | Heal Loudly Movement The War No One Sees Psychological warfare isn’t just something that happens in war zones or espionage it happens behind closed doors, in relationships, families, and workplaces. Victims of narcissistic abuse experience a systematic dismantling of their identity, sanity, and physical health, often without visible bruises to prove the battle they are fighting. The consequences of emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and psychological terrorism are far more severe than most realize. From suicidal ideation and psychosis to autoimmune diseases and chronic pain, the body and mind react as though they’ve been through actual warfare because they have. 1. Suicide & The Mental Collapse of Victims The most tragic and extreme consequence of psychological warfare is suicide.
